Are You Okay
With It Taking Time? 


Every change we make, every accomplishment we achieve takes a certain amount of time.  

We could even agree that the greatest accomplishments take more time.  

But when it comes to losing weight, we want it to be fast. 

This messes with our mind, our emotions and our commitment.

I want you to think about when you enrolled in college.  You decided on a field of study and a degree you set out to earn and graduate.   Or, you can think about High School.  You set out to graduate.  

When you signed up, you expected that it would take a number of days you would need to continue taking action.  You made a plan, followed through and repeated.....Over and over and over.  

When you were a sophomore, did you say to yourself, "I haven't graduated yet I think I'll quit?"

In the 6th month of your Senior year did you throw up your hands and stop completing the required work? 

I'm asking you these questions because I think it is helpful ,when we get frustrated with the number of days we must choose to honor our commitment to ourselves, to remember - It Takes Time. 

I also want you to believe you can lose the weight as hard as you believed you would graduate.  

When I work with my clients, we create a daily belief plan.  We study our thinking patterns and trade the thoughts that work against us in for thoughts that create resilience.  It is amazing for me to see the transformation in the lives of those I serve.  

From the perspective of their coach, it is like watching a rose bloom or a butterfly emerge.  

If you are struggling to manage your stress and your weight, I would love to meet with you for a strategy session.  One thirty minute call will start you on your path to transforming your relationship with food, your body and most importantly , with yourself.

for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure. - Phil 2:13

You are loved and you are worth it. Thank you for choosing to honor your commitment to yourself and your health,

Peggy

The One Thing You Need to Know...

The One Thing You Need to Know...  What is it?  What is the one thing you need to know in order to achieve your goals? If your goal is to lose weight, is the one thing you need to know, a diet , powder or pill? If your goal is to manage your time, is the one thing you need to know, the best planner? If your goal is to exercise, is the one thing you need to know, the best workout? If your goal is to have more self confidence, is the one thing you need to know, the best mantras? Would you believe me if I told you that the one thing you need to know for accomplishing   any goal does not come from outside of you?  It comes from within.  One day, I was hosting a group call with my coaching clients, and I asked the question, "What is the one thing you need to know in order to continue in the wellness steps we have been practicing?" I listened to the answers from the group and then they asked me the one thing I needed to know. My ...

The New Normal

The New Normal How do we decide what normal eating is? Who decides?  Is it us or is it culture? Is it my thoughts, or society's thoughts? What is the association we are creating with our thoughts about food being part of our life events? Do we really need pizza and beer to make watching football more enjoyable?  Do we need to have sugary treats to celebrate the Holidays? I personally, had to spend time questioning my involvement in spreading this confusion during family gatherings. One of the qualities I wanted to be known for was to be a good cook.  I had to decide what I thought a "good cook" meant to me.  Was it to bake foods that were loaded with mind altering substances? Or, could I decide that preparing food that was actually higher on the nutritional scale is of more value? Hmm, what an interesting question.  What is my new normal? Another question I asked myself is, "How am I going to feel after I eat those mind-altering foods?  W...
